Hello folks. I started collecting meteorites about two years ago. I have a small yet fairly modest collection. I bought my first few meteorites from Ann Black of Impactika. She was and is very nice and helpful. I have also purchased and become friendly with Mike Jensen though often busy he is very courteous and informative. Blaine Reed is also one whom I have purchased from and a great guy. I recently became friends with Gary Fujihara on facebook and three of my favorite meteorite slices have come from him. I very much admire him and his great mind as well as his take on things. I'm mostly a reader and look forward to learning from all of you. From time to time I may even post my own comments and view of things, ask questions, hopefully without losing my head for it!! LOL!!

Aloha and e komo mai (howzit and welcome), Welcome to the metlist Henry. I am sure you will find this resource to be helpful to gain information on meteorites, as there are many knowledgeable folks here including the people you have mentioned. It has been a pleasure to get to (virtually) know you, and I'm looking forward to perhaps meeting you in September at the Denver show. Take care and we'll see you around. gary On May 5, 2010, at 11:57 AM, hxmendoza wrote: Hello folks. I started collecting meteorites about two years ago. I have a small yet fairly modest collection.

Re: [meteorite-list] New to list
Hi, Good to see you here, I started collecting almost two years ago myself.. Well, actually my first meteorites are irons - a couple of Nantans, an etched Gibeon coin, and a shrapnel I think of the Campo (which i lost the label to but I recall it saying it's from Argentina), which I got 4 or 5 years ago... they haven't rusted away on me (including the Nantans). Until I learned more about these space rocks and found out about chondrites about a year and a half ago (when I started getting more and more into the hobby), I thought irons were the most common type of meteorite.. lol It was then that I began adding a bunch of NWAs into my collection, as well as some falls, famous finds and hammers.

Re: [meteorite-list] New to list - an introduction
Hi Mike, Welcome back to meteorites and Welcome aboard! It is good to have a few more collectors around in Washington State. One of my main goals is to find the sixth meteorite every found in this state. I believe I found a very small one some time back in Lake Washington with a magnetic sluice box but was told it was not a meteorite and lost the chain of custody. A few years later I polished an edge and saw what I thought to be a chondrule so I resubmitted it for classification and it did turn out to be a meteorite. The problem is,even though I clearly remember finding it and had another hunter with me, I can not say with 100% certainty thatit might not have been accidentally switched withanother piece in my collection since I did not keep perfect accounting of the specimen.Memories are not accurate enough to make such a claim so I will continue to search. Now, I take several images on the spot of everything I find with a GPS in the picture and label it immediately. Unfortunately with thousands of hours in the field in this state I have never been able to find another one. That is why I like to go to the Mojave where you are almost guaranteed to find something if you spend enough time. What I did find was a great excuse to get some exercise, relaxation and met a heck of a lot of good people. Enough about my unsuccessful experienceshunting this state, I hope you enjoy the information you glean from this List.

Dear Meteorite List: I just joined this list a couple of days ago and am thrilled to be a part of it. I came to love meteorites through the back door you might say. I have always loved rocks and minerals, dabbled a bit in fossils and then found my truest love of all: meteorites. What I find so fascinating about meteorites, and I'm sure you'll all agree, is the stories they have to tell. Knowing where they came from in space is pretty cool, but knowing the stories they tell once they land makes them fascinating even to a newbie like me. Two such stories come immediately to mind: Peekskill and Valera. I only have 32 meteorites in my collection right now, but I certainly hope to add more as time goes by. I don't have to have the best piece, or the biggest. The fact that I own it at all is plenty good enough for me! I hope I can make contributions to this list with my limited knowledge.

Hi Anita, and welcome to the List! With new meteorites from Mars being found, and rovers exploring the red planet too, you've certainly chosen a VERY exciting time to join-up - good to have you with us :-) You're going to find membership of this little family fascinating and rewarding, I promise, and you're in the company of some amazing people - some very rich, who travel the world and share their incredible stories with us here, some not so rich; some are the owners of collections which fill houses, others (like me!) are the owners of more modest collections numbering a couple of dozen. But everyone has the same thing in common - a fascination with and passion for meteorites, so bear that in mind and don't be daunted by the company, ok? Everyone's as good as everyone else here :-) One tip tho - don't take the occasional fallings-out and arguments too seriously. When war breaks out the best thing to do is just pull on a tin helmet, sit back and let the protagonists get on with it , knowing that peace and sanity will eventually return, ok? ;-) Welcome aboard :-) Stu www.stuartatkinson.com www.newmars.com
Re: [meteorite-list] New to List: Intro. Dog struck by meteorite lives on!
Dear Anita; Welcome to the List. After a bit, you will be filled with other emotions besides being thrilled. That is fine, as life is full of all different emotions. You will laugh at us, mourn with us, become your own person of opinion and worth here for us to banter with. You will learn big words, and astrophysics. You will one day ask your self, how does that dim wit manage to dress himself every day. Geology and astronomy are much closer related than either discipline will professionally admit. Ride with the intrepid adventurer as he travels to the exotic lands of India, Morocco, the California deserts, and warmly, Park Forest! Wow, this all happened in just the past year. We are rapidly approaching the one year anniversary of the shuttle disaster, at times for good, and bad, we are ahead of the national news with information. Be prepared. Expect little verbal wars to erupt, expect to see works of love and accomplishment, expect to see many warm friends of the meteorite world laugh and be silly, and yet be professional meteorite experts. See little contests of sharing and compassion. Learn to graciously eat crow. Our list has an archive. There are many many links to web sites, and personal pages with information. We have the Meteorite Times emagazine, we have the handful of best books and another handful of really good books, we have the NASA posts and we have the camaraderie of the big Tucson show, and other smaller shows. I tend to savor them all. Please understand the delete key at your keyboard is your right and privilege to use, and use it often. Also note that for every one list post, there are sometimes a few to many side posts of list members sending private emails to friends asking further questions, poking further insult to injury, or sending lots of little smily faces with Hi-five messages. Please feel free to develop your people skills along with your meteorite education. We are, as a whole, a very warm and passionate group.If you do not agree, just start a post about a dog in Africa that may have been thumped on the head by a rock from the sky. or publicly evaluate the worth of eBay, or pull up the topic of specks as specimens, and see how much fun you can witness.

Re: [meteorite-list] New to List: Intro
Hi Anita, I have also recently started on this list, so I'm a bit early for opinions on the list's fireworks. It would seems that best thing is never to take the list too seriously and all the posts have something in them whether humor, irony or education. You have 16 times as many meteorites as I have so far, by the way. This is the right place for collectors, and I completely agree with you as the more fun part is to have the meteorite touch you in some way, whether slaughtering cows is interesting to you or figuring out how it got here in the first place, where it is from, or what it is made of. Space jewels from Esquel, prior meteorites on the meteorite like NWA 1942, and don't forget tektites, or a nice snowfalke-patterned etched Gibeon. And collections may be forgotten when we pass on, since we can't bring them with us, but the knowledge we learn from their study never stops growing! Welcome!

Two such stories come immediately to mind: Peekskill and Valera. I only have 32 meteorites in my collection right now, but I certainly hope to add more as time goes by. I don't have to have the best piece, or the biggest. The fact that I own it at all is plenty good enough for me! I hope I can make contributions to this list with my limited knowledge. If nothing else, my enthusiasm should win the day! Another Woman!!! Great! We are a small but growing minority on this List. And we don't let those guys intimidate us. Every now and then they get noisy so you have to threaten them with a rolled newspaper. Or the Delete key. Don't hesitate to ask questions, and tell us what you think. Anne M. Black www.
